Hurdy:
My TAROX brake kit works perfectly well.
The kit has 323mm one piece discs and TAROX's B30 -6 pot calipers. The carriers iirc were designed for the MKIV Golf, but slot straight on to the Polo. :happy2:

i think what dave might be getting at is the boxster calipers wont go over the 312mm discs once the pads are installed.
iirc you need 911 4 pots which will fit on 312mm discs with no issues
jimk04:
I can see DaveB banging his head as we speak!
911 (996) fronts are too wide for the 25mm thk 312s.
Boxster rears are generally deemed too small piston wise.
But I aint no expert so I am outta here! :P :happy2: :wink:
Deako:
These are the brackets im getting. As you can see, they clearly state that they are the correct caliper for 25mm 312mm discs, and the conversion has been sold to other people that i have spoken to, one of which a Polo.

I am getting the correct Boxster S rear calipers, that fit the 312x25mm discs.
I just want to know why one would say that the kit would be dangerous, when Mk4 based kits have been used, tried and tested on the Polo 6R platform. I dont want to offend Dave, i just want an answer. Instead of just coming on here giving a bold statement. Maybe an explanation as to why it wont work?
Janner_Sy:
Exactly. they also quote this so people cant cock it up
--- Quote ---Brake adapters to allow fitment of Porsche 996 Rear/ Porcshe Boxter s Rear/ Brembo brake calipers with the standard VAG 5 X 100 PCD 312mm discs.
The part numbers for the calipers are 996.352.421 and 996.352.422 these will allow for a 312mm disc
Please note Boxster 2.5/2.7L share the same part number on they calipers but will not work on this conversion as the calipers are suitable to work on a maximum of 24mm discs not 25mm as on Vag application.
